SYMPTOMS
========

The Microsoft Visual Basic Help file contains two documentation errors in the
following paragraph on the DBGrid control:

  "Each cell of a DBGrid control can hold either text or picture values, but
  not linked or embedded objects. You can specify the current cell in code, or
  the user can change it at run time using the mouse or the arrow keys. Cells
  can be edited interactively, by typing into the cell, or programatically."

There are two errors in this paragraph. First, it states that the control can
hold pictures. Unfortunately, the control cannot hold pictures. Secondly, the
word programmatically is misspelled; it should be spelled programmatically.

STATUS
======

This documentation error was corrected in Visual Basic version 5.0.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------

From the Help menu on the DBGrid control, select Display, and in the secondary
window, choose the DBGrid Control topic. The second paragraph under the Note
contains the incorrect entries.
